Joe Hart article in the bbc

Hart has made 690 club appearances, having also turned out for Shrewsbury, Tranmere, Blackpool, Birmingham, Torino, Burnley and Tottenham.

I know it mentions city once, no appearances or what he won with us, in the second line but you'd still think it would slot City into that list lol

The 'also' means that there was no logic to include it.

Petro Jim, the Tax Dodger

The media will lap it up. It is newsworthy. After more than a decade of mismanagement and spending the most, positive spins from Petro Jim are to be expected following the acquisition of a minority shareholding at Old Trafford.

Petro Jim speaks the language of united. It is riddled with the past in the mode of Ferguson. The latter is one old man, who has been part of the problem at Old Trafford, and still will be as long as he still hangs around the place. Now there is another old man, harping on about the past with arrogant, self-entitled rhetoric.

This tax dodging industrialist has added Old Trafford to his chemical and fracking portfolio as part of his big ego trip after failing in his first choice to buy Chelsea. The cocky talk which was once one of "noisy neighbours" and "not in my lifetime", has now moved to ridiculous talk of "enemies" and "knocking them off their perches". This is the outdated language and narrow mindset of united and their preoccupation with competitors.

The start of their PR campaign may have stimulated an initial giddiness amongst their lot however the choice of unwise words typical of the united way will backfire.

They are stuck in the 20th century, seeking to copy those in the 21st century, and trying to keep up with The Treble winners.

That's a very accurate summary of their plight.

I've got a couple of colleagues who are rags and I've said to them on several occasions that the best thing that could happen to their club is to slide down the table and flirt with relegation for a season or two.

At first they thought I was mad. Then after yet another mediocre season (by their standards) with very little to look forward to regarding the upcoming season, the penny started to drop.

The club they once knew is finished. The name remains and the global awareness is still prevalent today. However, the expectation and the reality is light years apart.

Nobody in their right mind would expect West Ham, Aston Villa or Brighton to be competing for Premier League title, yet the media and anyone remotely connected to that club feel that the rags should be competing for it every season.

Why? Because they dominated the league in the 90s or because they're a big club?

No football club in any division has a devine right to be at the top of the pyramid regardless of who they are.

It's counter intuitive but I genuinely believe that the best thing the rags could do is drop down the division and flirt with relegation for a season or two. It would get the British media off their case and ease the relentless pressure to be top dogs in a league that they are obviously struggling to compete in.

Now here comes the best bit: because we all know that the rags are nothing more than a bunch of arrogant self-entitled megalomaniacs they will never discover the art of self-awareness. They are doomed to be forever stuck in this cycle of craving dominance and experiencing disappointment.
 
Sportsbible :

The Premier League teams’ biggest fanbases have been ranked.

Online casino company Nieuwe-Casinos.net analysed the follower count of each team in the Premier League as a means of determining the side has the most fans.

They totalled the number of followers for each Premier League team on Instagram, TikTok, Facebook and X to determine who had the most supporters.

As expected Manchester United top the list with over 207,583,227 followers across the team’s social media platforms.

Manchester City are second on the list, with a total follower count of 140,821,395

Chelsea are third on the list with 136,557,418 total

Placing fourth on the list is Liverpool, with a total of 132,634,015 followers across its social media platforms, while Arsenal complete the top five with 99,613,481 fans.

Interesting.
Just need some of these 140,000,000 to buy some shirts and pay £60.00 to see us against Brentford/Burnley then we’ve made it ;-)
 
I’ve posted a link just in case you fancy a quick scroll through the nonsense Dan Roan, banned from the Etihad, has written about Scruffy Jim, the tax dodger, who wants the tax payer to pay for United’s new stadium.

BBC United - Mediacity and Roan are getting absolutely slaughtered in the comments section under the article by football fans Who are sick to death of United articles on the BBC football website. It’s not only City fans who are sick of it.
